Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tin mill products from 

Canada. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 in the 

Initiation Notice, Commerce set aside a 

period of time for parties to raise issues 

regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5

Certain interested parties commented on 

the scope of the investigation as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. For a 

summary of the product coverage 

comments and rebuttal responses 

submitted to the record for this 

investigation, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.6 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily did not modify the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. In the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

established the deadline for parties to 

submit scope case and rebuttal briefs. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce calculated 

export prices in accordance with section 

772(a) of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying the 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Negative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

In accordance with section 733(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, Commerce 

preliminarily finds that critical 

circumstances do not exist for 

ArcelorMittal Dofasco G.P. (Dofasco) 

and all other Canadian producers and 

exporters. For a full description of the 

methodology and results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act provide that in the 

preliminary determination, Commerce 

shall determine an estimated all-others 

rate for all exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. Commerce 

calculated an individual estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Dofasco, the only individually 

examined exporter/producer in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated dumping margin 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for Dofasco is the 

margin assigned to all other producers 

and exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

ArcelorMittal Dofasco G.P .......... 5.29 

All Others .................................... 5.29 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Further, pursuant 

to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the respondent listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins determined in this 

preliminary determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in the Federal Register, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

on non-scope issues may be submitted 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance no later 

than seven days after the date on which 

the last verification report is issued in 

this investigation. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than seven 

days after the deadline date for case 

briefs.7 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.8

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this investigation are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) a statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument;

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Requests should 

contain the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants, whether any participant is 

a foreign national, and a list of the 

issues to be discussed. If a request for 

a hearing is made, Commerce intends to 

hold the hearing at a time and date to 

be determined. Parties should confirm 

by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by exporters who account for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise, or in the event of 

a negative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) 

of Commerce’s regulations requires that 

a request by an exporter for 

postponement of the final determination 

be accompanied by a request for 

extension of provisional measures from 

a four-month period to a period not 

more than six months in duration. 

On August 2, 2023, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), Dofasco requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.9 In accordance with 

section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

preliminary determination is 

affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter 

accounts for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise; and 

(3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the 

Act.10

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports of tin mill products from 

Canada are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: August 16, 2023.
